So this was a list I was going to take to a 1500pt tourney but it was canceled so I figured I would post it up and see what people say about it. First 2 times I play tested it I lost to nids, but since then Ive beaten nids and marine armies alike with it.

Vendetta

So far Ive played this list a couple of times and have gotten the hhang of how mech guard operates and I would have to say Im pretty happy with it.

Looks a lot like mine except I have some artillery in there.

But the only you might want to consider is chaging a squad to melta vets. But even that isn't necessary.

It is a solid list. Most people either have a love/hate relationship with Pask in an Vanquisher. He is good, my only concern is that especially with an LC and PC sponsoons, your putting alot of points into this one model that could easily get popped. I would also recommend swapping out the vets in the Vendetta for meltas, Because the idea is that your going to be dropping them off in your opponents deployment, and want them hitting high value targets.

The flamer/demo vets are essential and I will tell you this much, Ive used them very often lately and they almost always double their points back, they are key. I also have the other squad kitted out with plasma because Ive played nids a lot lately and other armies with monstrous creatures and the plasma coming in late game seems to be pretty great working. I may and have thought of changing one of the chimera vet squads into melta, what would you guys recommend? swap the plasma drop squad for melta or swap a plasma chimera squad for a melta chimera squad?

Also the vanq with LC/PC and pask is something Ive almost auto include in all my IG lists. I started trying it out months ago and it takes out enemy armor relatively easily. Once you've popped enemy armor and their troops foot slodge across the board you now have a couple of weapons all s7+ thats also all ap2. The tank usually makes its points bank in each game and as av14 is hard to kill from a distance my opponents tend to be distracted by it and will try to destroy it with everything they got, usually doing nothing to my Vets and the tank maybe suffering a glance if my opponents are lucky.
